Medical Malpractice Suit

We hired Atty. Raphael when my husband's mother died in a nursing home, due to neglect. He was very thorough in his research and won the case for us. We're deeply appreciative.

Fantastic!

I found Attorney Raphael as the result of a Google search a few months into my divorce proceedings, and I can only say I wish I had found him even sooner. It was a lengthy, contentious process that actually continued for quite some time after the divorce was granted. I was initially terrified at the ...entire process, and constantly ready to give up and throw in the towel. Attorney Raphael has truly seen me at some of my best moments and some of my worst moments, and has always gone far beyond the call of duty to fight for me in a professional and compassionate manner. He has always listened, even when I babbled on and on, and has always given me sound advice, and produced results better than I could have hoped for. When my situation took surprising twists and turns that even I did not foresee, he stood by me and kept working for the best interests of my children and I. He helped me to realize that I could unapologetically speak and stand up for myself, stare down my past struggles, and move forward. I'm honestly not sure I could have made it through the divorce and the years following, without knowing that Attorney Raphael was in my corner. I am thankful to have had the benefit of his professional services, and also glad to consider him a friend today.

Not happy at all.

We retained Mr. Raphael’s services regarding a dental malpractice issue. He took a deposit from us and never followed through and didn’t return my calls when asked to return my deposit. We even had our current dentist willing to testify and he never called him or followed through resulting in us havi...ng to hire another well qualified, competent attorney to handle our case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
